Greek Pie Recipes

Spanakopita, tiropita, kreatopita and the rest of the pita family, with real guidance on handling phyllo.

A curated set rather than an automatic one. These are dishes that belong together on a table, or that answer the same question, and the grouping is editorial rather than taxonomic.

It includes Spanakopita, Tiropita, Flaounes, Tahinopita, Tsoureki and Kolokithopita Epirou.

Every recipe on Kalliopi's Kitchen carries the dish's Greek name and a pronunciation, its region where that is meaningful, ingredient quantities in both metric and imperial, and an honest note on what commonly goes wrong. Nutrition figures are calculated estimates and are labelled as such.
